Give a Man a Fish, Feed Him For a Day. Teach Him to Fish, and He Finds $400

And to think us C&R fly fishing mokes are out there for the experience of fly fishing. What rubes.

This guy from China doesn’t even fly fish (thereby forgoing the expense of $700 fly rods) and he scored better than $400. You and me — we got it all wrong. All wrong. From Fishupdate.com

A CHINESE man found £200 in the belly of a rotten fish his dog had found in the rubbish. Mr Wang, of Huichun city, says he noticed his dog enjoying a fish, and, curious, decided to check it out, according to Ananova. “I lifted the fish, and saw it was already rotting. But then a package wrapped in oily paper dropped out,” he told the City Evening.

I once got $5 from the DFG for catching a trout at La Moine with a tag on it. Does that count?

I can see a whole new breed of fly’s being concocted now… “Silver dollar Spyder” “Gold Bricked, Platinum Hackled Spent Wing” “IPO Leveraged Nymph” “Gold Ribbed Futures Note”… damned fish anyway, who KNEW they were so greedy??  (Quote)

Dam, The best thing I ever found while fishing was a five of diamonds spoon, and I don’t even chuck gear. Time to pull out the Mac Daddy Flies.

Hell, I’d be happy to get back just one of the dozens of hemostats I’ve lost in the river.  (Quote)
